we have to look at the way we build our infrastructure right at the end of katrina the streets of new orleans were dropped what happened was the infrastructure that we built the levees collapsed. in your part of the question what is our infrastructure does or does our subway system allows for us which we can go on to a tremendous amount. good enough for the climate we live in and i think what this week is showing. places like long island where no you don't work for the jersey shore the question is does our electrical grid that have that ability to survive in disaster but think the answer is it's pretty clear we know and it's really tough here because when you take a look for example of the new york subway this is something i was shocked to learn seven million people a day people coming in and out of different parts of new york jersey. and of course within the island of manhattan of course but one hundred five hundred years is a pretty good run to go without having any major disaster of course and now that we have it certainly is an appropriate time to ask these questions is it good en
